Maryland Department of Natural Resources

In 1998, System Automation teamed with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to create Sportsman 2000. 

Sportsman is a full-function, Windows-based point-of-sale (POS) sport licensing system. Conservation and wildlife agencies benefit from reduced costs and improved operations though efficient automation to a comprehensive range of licensing and information sharing tasks. Response to customer inquiries is faster and better because all customer information is contained in a single easy-to-access source. 

This versatile system supports licensing procedures not only for sport hunting and fishing, but also for commercial fishing, boat dealer licensing, vessel titling and registration, and online surveys, to name a few. Each POS system benefits from a direct link to the agency's network information.
